About the course

Microbiology explores the invisible world of microorganisms that profoundly shape our lives, from sustaining the air we breathe and the food we eat to dominating our bodies. At NTU, students begin with essential lab techniques and progress to simulated workplace scenarios in areas like medical research, biotechnology, food safety, and diagnostics. Guided by renowned experts, the course covers microbes linked to global health challenges such as HIV, tuberculosis, and influenza, while addressing broader issues like climate change, pollution, and antibiotic resistance.Studying BSc (Hons) Microbiology at NTU emphasizes practical skills through modules on experimentation and problem-solving, including the Microbiology Society’s Unearthed Scheme for isolating antibiotic-producing bacteria. In the third year, students undertake year-long placements with organizations like the NHS or GlaxoSmithKline, supported by employability resources, and develop a skills portfolio. The course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, ensuring its relevance and professional value.
